WHEELING, W.Va., April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Paul M. Limbert, President and Chief Executive Officer of WesBanco, Inc. (Nasdaq: WSBC), a Wheeling, West Virginia based multi-state bank holding company, today announced earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $7.9 million, as compared to $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 80.0% while diluted earnings per common share were $0.30 as compared to $0.17 per common share for the first quarter of 2009. Net income available to common shareholders in the first quarter of 2009 was reduced by TARP-related preferred dividends totaling $1.1 million.

Mr. Limbert commented, "First quarter net income has shown significant progress in the operations of the Bank. Our effort to more effectively invest the recently-acquired AmTrust deposits has resulted in a significant improvement in net income. Our efficiency ratio shows continued efforts to reduce expenses and improve revenues. The higher non-performing loans totals are disappointing but reflect the ongoing recession and our customers' difficulties in doing business in the current environment. We continue to evaluate our loan portfolio and have provided additional reserves for recessionary levels of loan losses. We are pleased with the earnings for the first quarter, helping to increase our capital ratios, which continue to be considerably above regulatory 'well capitalized' levels."

Highlights for the first quarter of 2010 include the following:

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses increased $2.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2009, but decreased $2.9 million from the fourth quarter to $11.5 million for the first quarter of 2010. Lower provision expense as compared to the fourth quarter reflects a 49.7% decline in charge-offs. As compared to the first quarter of 2009, the provision expense was higher reflecting the general deterioration of credit quality due to the prolonged recession, particularly for commercial real estate loans. Non-performing loans increased $27.1 million as compared to the first quarter of 2009, while loans past due 30 days or more decreased by $12.8 million. Non-performing loans increased $17.4 million from year end, with most of the increase concentrated in restructured commercial real estate loans. The provision for credit losses exceeded net charge-offs by $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2010, which, coupled with the declines in loan balances, increased the allowance for loan losses to 1.91% of total loans at March 31, 2010 compared to 1.76% at December 31, 2009 and 1.52% at March 31, 2009.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $2.5 million or 6.6% in the first quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2009 due to a 2.6% increase in average earning assets and a 10 basis point increase in the net interest margin to 3.57%. The increase in average earning assets was the result of the acquisition of five branches at the end of the first quarter of 2009. The improvement in the net interest margin was due to the average rate on interest bearing liabilities decreasing by 61 basis points. Lower rates on deposits, maturities of higher rate certificates of deposit and an increase in lower cost deposits such as money market accounts all contributed to the improvement in the cost of funds. In addition, the average balances for higher rate borrowings decreased by $173.1 million or 20.8% from the first quarter of 2009 through planned reductions utilizing the liquidity obtained through the branch acquisition. The margin has also benefited from a 4.5% increase in average non-interest bearing deposit balances.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

In the first quarter of 2010 non-interest income increased 20.9% to $15.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily due to higher net security gains of $1.3 million, increased trust fees resulting from the improved market, and higher fees relating to deposit accounts, debit cards and customer securities sales. Partially offsetting these increases was a $1.5 million charge in the 2010 quarter for an additional write-down of a property in other real estate owned.

Non-interest expenses were up only slightly as compared with last year as operating efficiencies and lower marketing expenses were offset by higher FDIC insurance premiums, occupancy costs, health care costs and other real estate owned expenses.

Financial Condition

The balance sheet was little changed in the first quarter as compared to year end, but dropped 9.4% from last March. Portfolio loans decreased 3.8% from last March, primarily due to decreases in residential real estate, commercial and consumer loans. WesBanco continued to focus on improving overall credit quality in all categories of the loan portfolio, including continued strategic reductions in residential mortgage loan balances. Total deposits decreased 3.9%, primarily though planned reductions of single service CD customers acquired from AmTrust, somewhat offset by increases in money market and savings deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and other short term borrowings decreased by $92.0 million or 13.4% as compared to December 31, 2009, funded by sales and maturities of securities and the aforementioned loan decreases. This planned reduction in borrowings over the past year has resulted in an improved net interest margin as well as improved capital ratios.

WesBanco continues to maintain strong regulatory capital ratios of 8.07% tier I leverage capital, 11.42% tier I risk-based capital, and 12.68% total risk-based capital, all of which improved from the fourth quarter of 2009 and are considerably above the "well capitalized" standards promulgated by bank regulators. Total tangible common equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP measure) improved to 6.06% at March 31, 2010 from 5.88% in the fourth quarter of 2009, primarily due to balance sheet strategies and a 1.3% increase in shareholders' equity. The increase in equity was the result of improved first quarter results and an increase in other comprehensive income due to higher unrealized securities gains during the quarter.

WesBanco is a multi-state bank holding company with total assets of approximately $5.4 billion, operating through 114 branch locations and 136 ATMs in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. WesBanco's banking subsidiary is WesBanco Bank, Inc., headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia. WesBanco also operates an insurance brokerage company, WesBanco Insurance Services, Inc., and a full service broker/dealer, WesBanco Securities, Inc.
